Improcement.-The changes and
improvements made in d. G. Percy's
dwelling and drug store portion of the
homestead property are augmented
both by the convenience and appear
ance of the establishment very ma
terlally. The east door opens into the
dwelling, the west as before into the
drug store. This apartment is l6 by
40 feet, and with its beautiful finish of
elegant paper, panel work, bordering,
white furniture, glass cases and drug
stock is a bright, CHEEKY, beautiful
store. The entire fronting is 30 feet.
There are six pillars fanking glass
plates and doors. On each pillar at
the bottom is letter of Mr.. Percy's
name in bright yellow. The ground
work is black, beautifully ornamented
also by yellow stripes. The entire i'm
p1ovement is costly, tasteful and one
that adds great value to the property
and facility to the transaction of bust
ness. Mr.. Percy is to be congratulate
ed both on his taste and enterprise.

ago Jesse J. Arnold, a well known and
popular farmer, while driving his team
homeward from Eckhart met with an
accident which terminated in his death
Wednesday morning. He had stopped

He ran forward to catch the lines, in
doing which he fell under the wheels
which passed oAer his chest, inhicting
internal injuries Of mortal character.
Mr.. Arnold was GO years of age,
thorough gentleman, model citizen and
sincere christian. He was leading
member of the Baptist church at Eek

BreUities. The lj0-yard foot-race
last Saturday at the Borden Shaft
Boys picnic, near Wright's Crossing,
was won by August Hohing, of Iona
coming, who beat John McAllister, of
the Shaft, about 40 feet. A great deal
of foolish betting was done. The
amount which went from Frostburg
and the Shaft to Homecoming has been
variously estimated between 81, 800
and $1,000. An immense crowd wit
messed the race.

The Sensations OF The DYING.

1t is doubtless the case that in
many instances-and perhaps they
are the maiority-dying persons lapse
gradually into an Inconsistencies
that ends their bodily pain, and saves
them from the anguish OF the final
parting with those they leave behind.
1t is not uncommon, however, for
clearness OF comprehension to persist
to the last, and perhaps it is still
more common for some OF the special
sences to preserve their activity. We
think it was Ernst Wagner who, in
his General Pathology" dwelt par
tlcularly on the preservation OF the
sense OF hearing in many cases long
alter the apparent occurrence OF un-
consciousness, and who tenderly eau
toned his readers that this possibili-
ty should be borne in mind. The
following touching account of the late
DR.. Wilson Fox's last moments, when
his friend, DR.. ]. Russell Reynolds was
at his bedside. is given in Lancet's
obituary: "On the next morning,
when obviously and consciously dying,
and after his eyes had been fixed for q
few minutes on the angles OF the room,
and as some gray streaks OF dawn
were entering it, he said suddenly:
''Ihere's a great light, a great glare OF

light. What isit, Reynolds?' The re-
ply was: 1T sthe peace OF God. He
grasped his friends hand firmly and
said, God bless you. "-New York

An Expert Opinion

General Sherman has just returned
from his visit to Washington and pro.
fesses himself in the position of the
Lancastrian lover to the York maid
en-. He has fallen in love with that
we'll hammered and gifted young lady,
Mrs. Grover Cleveland He met her
for tho first time in Washington the
other day at cabinet dinner, and
sat by her eide.
"She is very remarkable GIRL" he
said, in describing the interview; "per.
fectly quiet and self-possessed, and
absolutely without affectation, accept
ing the dignity OF her position with
almost q queenly graciousness.
thought her very like the princess Of
Wales, and told her SO. and she was
very much pleased. Mr.. Bancroft,
who is very fond of her, remarked to
me that it seems impossible for any
bachelor or widower president TO be
elected second term, and we both
decided we'd hate to have this pretty
creature turned out. Sne has not
shown the slightest preference in her
friendships to her husbands political
supporters. and some OF her most ard
ent admirers are the wives ofmen who
are themselves prominently before the
public as candidates for the prssiden-
cy. Mrs. John Sherman is one Of her
stanchest friends"
After spending an hour and a half
with her, tete-a-tete, the next day, he
WAS still able to tell her at parting
that he mad seen a great many OF the
ladies OF the White House. and not
one OF them was more his idea OF
what an American presidents wife
should be than is this young and
lovely woman.

General Use of Slang.

The Dallas (Texasl News tells the
following about the large use OF slang:
A few days ago well-known gentle
man in that city was discussing
with q News representative the pre-
valence OF slang in the country.
"Just to show you how almost uni
versal it is becoming we will test it
right here. 1t is raining, and we will
stand in this door, and to every per-
son OF your acquaintance who passes
by you will put this question: Isn't
this rain glorious?' and note their
answers"
The pair stood in the door, the gem
tleman, watch in hand, and the News
representative with note book and
pencil ready. Thirty-tive gentlemen
passed by, to whom the query was
put. Thirty-one OF them replied,
'You bet" One said: III should
smile;" two said, "She is getting there
with both feet" and the other re-
marked, go long, Liza Jane"

Pleasures of Wealth.
From the Buffalo Commercial.

From the Buffalo Commercial.
"This is a fair specimen of the pleas
ure and privileges which enter into
the career OF a man of large wealth, !"
SAID one OF the opulent New Workers.
who are attending the oil-conspiracy
trial "Great wealth means large
business interests in many localities,
tedious litigations. long absence from
home and family. tiresome travel and
many other privations unknown to
the man OF small means. Then again,
SO much more is expected OF the man
reported to be the possessor ola great
fortune. The lawyers that care for
his interests. the dentist who pulls
his tooth, the barber who gives him Il
villainous shave, the boy who blacks
his boots, the waiter, the porter-all
these expect from two to ten times
their customary fee, and look disap-
pointed if they don't get it. This is
particularly apt to be the case in re.
gions where millionaires are not as
plentiful as they are in New York.
Thisreminds me OF a story about Jay
Gould: While he was travelling on
the Wabash system he stopped over
for dinner at a little town in south
ern Illinois. The party ate some eggs
amcig otl.er things. and when the bill
was presented to Gould it contained
among other things the item: One
dozen eggs, $l.eo. The great railroad
magnats remarked that eggs must be
rather scarce in that section, to which
the restaurant keeper replied: No,
sir: eggs are plenty enough; but Jay
Goulds are mighty scarce" ;"
